Leuze Safety Controllers

Friday, February 3, 2012 by Caryl Clement
Compact safety controls are being used increasingly to monitor the safety circuit on small to medium size machines. Users prefer a safety system that is quick and easy to install, and is independent of the standard controller. Designed as plug-and-play components, Safety controllers and safety relays from Leuze Electronics are well matched to each other and are easier to use than ever before.
The new Leuze MSI 100 and MSI 200 programmable safety controllers feature simple handling during commissioning, flexible configuration options and broad, on-board functionality. They offer an optimum system solution for small to medium size machines.
For very large machines and systems, the modularly expandable Leuze MS 200 is the appropriate solution. With this device, systems with up to 140 safety modules or with 44 drive components can easily be monitored. Additional MSI-FB fieldbus modules enable the transfer of diagnostic data to their respective PLC via the fieldbus.
The function of Leuze controllers can be quickly and effectively programmed using MSIsafesoft software. PLC open-certified function blocks, which can be integrated into the safety circuit using drag and drop functionality, facilitate the menu-driven operation.

Schmersal Light Curtains

Wednesday, October 12, 2011 by Caryl Clement
Because safety light curtains are continuously exposed to the rigors of industrial applications, they must be extra-rugged to resist the bumps and unexpected misfortunes routinely encountered on the factory floor.

Schmersal Light CurtainsA typical light curtain construction is two-piece, extruded aluminum with a lens cover bridging the two ends. This construction is only as strong as the weakest component, the lens. Real world experience tells us that two-piece exterior design structure is susceptible to mechanical damage. For maximum strength, we have designed a seamless, round, one-piece extruded reinforced housing - where the lens plays no part in the protective structural system. This design offers a major protection difference between Schmersal and the competition.

Marshall Wolf Automation offers all types of safety products, from safety relays to laser scanners.   We have technical support on staff to discuss your project and application questions, help you find the right item quickly and ensure it gets to you on time!  Call us today!  800-325-9653

ASO-Safety Contact Mats

Tuesday, March 1, 2011 by David Sheets
ASO-Safety contact mats are now available thru Euchner from Marshall Wolf Automation.
mataso
ASO-Safety contact mats are used to safeguard industrial and production automation.  Stepping on the mat triggers an immediate "top" signal to the ASO safety relay (which is needed to achieve the safety rating) in order to prevent hazardous movement of the production equipment.  The ASO-Safety contact mats consist of a surface area switch which has been encased in polyurethane to ensure impermeability to water.  This technique causes the mat to be especially sturdy against water, dust, and other damaging factors.  The mats are provided with a slip resistant surface to protect the operator.

Typical applications include:  Buses and trains, machine and equipment, and elevators and/or lifts.

Some features and benefits of the ASO-Safety contact mats are:

Different sizes, shapes, and colors are available
Easy to clean
Tested to more than 6 million activations
Multiple mat configurations
Custom surface materials:  Aluminum or stainless steel

Please contact me at david@wolfautomation.com and I will be glad to assist you with your matting requirements.
